Here, we've got all the attire--and all the tips--you need to put together a fantastic office party look.

Finding Stunning Office Party Dresses

Office party dresses and outfits can vary according to several different factors. The first thing to consider when shopping for office party wear is the tone and formality of the office party in question. You may be required to conform to company culture (i.e.: professional but stylish). It can be hard to strike that perfect balance.

• Pay close attention to the tone and formality of the event. Does the invite mention cocktails? If so, a cocktail dress should be fine. Does the invitation say casual? If so, maybe look for something simple and chic, like a sweater dress.
• When in doubt, default to your classic pieces. Little black dresses stand out in a good way without offending anyone you work with.
• If you're going to a holiday party, feel free to rock that little red dress. It's a more festive cousin of the little black dress, and as long as you stick to a modest silhouette you won't look too flashy or inappropriate. Remember that you have all the colors of the rainbow at your disposal. While it's best to veer on the understated side for office events, there's no reason to avoid your favorite hues.

Working with the Company Party Dress Code

A company party dress code can feel limiting but great style transcends even the strictest dress code. We've got some tips to help you find office party clothes that make you feel good, look great, and send the right message to your colleagues. Company party dress codes can be tricky. Luckily, our shop is stocked with tons of fun office party clothes that give you the confidence boost needed to really enjoy your office party, fashion worry-free!

• Pay attention to the letter of the law. How general are the guidelines? There are plenty of dresses, for example, with modest necklines and fairly long hemlines that also have fun embellishments and interesting details. While a mini skirt is unlikely to pass as office party appropriate, midis and pencil skirts are sure to get the stamp of approval from HR. (Phew!)
• Consider fabrics and colors. Solids and modest prints are the least likely to raise eyebrows and generally fall within appropriate office guidelines. Different people have different ideas of modest and appropriate. When in doubt, bring a light blazer or scarf as backup. If you're feeling uncomfortable or getting looks from your boss, you'll have a quick and easy coverage fix on hand.

Office Party Outfits You'll Want to Wear Again

Although it's important to consider how to dress for a work party before buying a new outfit, don't forget that you can actually wear those clothes again. With a few styling tweaks, you can easily get more mileage out of your office party clothes for important meetings, special occasions, or even date night, with a few modifications.

• Just remember to be open-minded when choosing office party outfits. Not a dress person? That's fine! Jumpsuits can be just as professional and sophisticated.
• Remember who's wearing these clothes (you, of course)! Don't be afraid to bring some of your personality into your look, and only pick clothes you genuinely like (ie: don't just buy it because you need something to wear). Lulus has plenty of office-friendly fashions for you to choose from that you'll actually be excited to wear. Our affordable online clothing boutique ensures you never have to settle for less than true love.
